Exclusive: Farah Khan On why she's done waiting for Bollywood and what impressed her about Aryan Khan
Farah Khan believes in moving with the times rather than waiting for opportunities. The filmmaker and choreographer reflects on reinventing herself, her successful foray into digital content, collaborating with Aryan Khan and why she’s content letting films happen in their own time.
‘Films will happen when they do’
From choreographer to filmmaker, YouTube creator and now host of the reality show Lock Upp : Sach Ya Sazaa, Farah believes staying relevant means constantly evolving. Speaking about her successful transition into social media content creation with Farah Khan’s Kitchen, she says, “You have to keep up with the times. I’ve always believed in reinventing myself. I was a dancer, then became a choreographer, then a director, followed by a TV reality show judge. I like to do new things. I believe films will happen when they do. Instead of waiting, I chose to do different things.”
‘Whatever I like to watch, is what I put out on my show’
Farah believes audiences connected with the show’s honesty. “People took to the organic nature of the show. Literally, it is a slice of life. And I am savvy enough to know that I like seeing other people’s houses. I want to see what’s in their kitchen. So, whatever I like to watch, is what I put out on my show. I knew my cook Dilip would click from episode one. I talk to him exactly the same way off camera.”
Ask the director who has helmed films like Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om, when she will return to that space and she admits, “Har cheez ka time hota hai. Jab uska time hoga, woh bhi aa jayega. I have stopped worrying and fretting about things for quite some time now. At this age, I can’t be worried and anxious about things.”
